We set to work to collecting
money from licenses - liquor,
occupation, trade, mercantile &c
and that winter we had enough
money to and did build the
first courthouse & jail in
the great interior of Alaska
- the first between Nome &
Sitka- on the interior. I also
laid out & created the Eagle,
Circle & Rampart precincts
& appointed Comr's. therein
with powers as probate judges,
justices of the peace, recorders
& Coroner.
And this government
was formed in the interior
of Alaska in 1900.
